I love getting excited about shows. I love that excitement of the band getting on stage. I love when the lights just go out and you get the sudden chills before they walk on stage.

Because I’ll be completely honest. After working so many shows, a handful of different festivals, you lose your concert innocence. Same thing when you figure out that Santa Clause isn’t real.

To anyone ten and under, I’m sorry you had to read that. But eventually, you figure out when you look under your parents’ bed.

Getting that excited for a show for me is rare. I absolutely love Dashboard Confessional. They have been one of my favorite bands since I was about 12.

I’m not sure why I gravitate towards them in but their music is catchy and very poetic at the same time. I’m not quite sure what that means, but it is.

I think it’s amazing that Chris the lead singer still has his voice after all these years.

Hell, I get a sore throat after a night of talking loud.
